Appealing to you modellers that have been doing WW1 a/c for awhile. I'm looking for a good match for the Fokker Dr.1 underside "turquoise" Either a recommended brand or a favorite recipe. The Gunze RLM65 I have still looks too blue to my eye; it seems to need something more. TIA

Rick, in my humble, start there and mix down to something lighter.
RLM65 is too vivid as well as too blue. In event, it ain't turkwazz, which has about a billion interpretations. Look at photos and take a best guess. Mk 1 Eyeball. A technical device. If ever there was a German PC-10, this be it . . . (then there's always "Imperial Purple"...)

Add R.A.F. "Sky Type S" to light blue until you get a greenish-blue colour. The Turquoise colour used on DR 1 was a light colour and not a dark one.
I agree with Barker - the exact match for Turquoise is as difficult to find as the R.F.C. Dark Green! |

For those who may be interested, Joel Robinson sent me his formula off-line using Testors' colors. I mixed it and it looks very promising to me, definitly more "greenish" than the Gunze RLM65.
50% #1722 Duck Egg Blue, FS 35622, Testors Model Master Military Colors 30% #1108 Light Blue, Testors small bottle 1/4oz 20% #1716 Pale Green, FS 34227, Testors Model Master Militray Colors. As I said, it looks more like the turquoise I was hoping for, and the colors are easily available in my area. Rick |
